Would you watch this channel?

You know those little animated logos you see on some channels before a show of some kind starts? That was the assignment. Because I guess we need to be reminded right before we watch something what channel it's on because we are all from the ADD generation or something. Anyways, that was the assignment but that would have been too simple so it had to be longer and a bit more detailed than just some floating logo saying "VSD...We have tv shows" or something.

Anyways, again I went a little crazier than most people and decided to create most of my own artwork instead of just taking images from somewhere. First off, I decided to go with a children's cartoon network except an awesome children's tv channel with shows that had tanks shooting at each other, dogs with platinum grills that solved the murders of rich, busty heiresses, and a show that featured Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce getting repeatedly nailed in the nuts with Mjolnir while the Lakers hang out in the back polishing their two recent championships. You know...stuff like that. Maybe some Dora the Explorer too because I can get down that too but you get the idea.

So again, I started with jotting down some ideas and sketches to get basic ideas of what I needed. First up was the island, not too rough and Illustrator made it easy to give it a slightly 3D look and give it some depth. Next were the tanks, and lettering for the words at the end. After Effects was used to animate everything and include some explosions and the intro morph of the island. Toss in some appropriate music, and you have something that works. I would watch this channel.
